Autostarts

Autostarts helps you keep control over your phone by letting you have
a look at what applications do behind your back.
It'll tell you which apps automatically run when the phone boots up, and
what other system events trigger in the background (e.g. when an SMS is
received, certain buttons are pressed, etc).

Improved way of using the root access; should work on more devices now, including the Archos devices and the Sholes Droid Mod.

1.5.0 (2010-02-10)

Major rewrite of how we retrieve package information. We no longer need to keep track of disabled components ourselves, and an uninstall of Autostarts no longer is an issue. The new backend also makes it possible for us to show additional events that are not in our database. Last but not least we can now show components that are disabled by default, and make a clean distinction between that initial state and changes by the user.

Compiled against 2.1 SDK.

Included pretty names and descriptions for a large number of new events.

1.2.2 (2010-01-31)

Added German translation (does not include event texts).

Added support for two new events (SECRET_CODE, SPN_STRINGS_UPDATED).

Improved handling of certain events (like PACKAGE_INSTALLED and friends) that previously didn't properly show up in many cases. There is still some work to do here.

On first use and on the help screen we now show information about how to workaround the freeze bug in the Superuser Whitelist app.

1.2.1 (2009-10-29)

"Eclair-ready" (compiled against 2.0).

Support all screen sizes.

Support various new events introduced in 1.6 and 2.0.

1.2.0 (2009-10-17)

Fixed a pretty serious crash on almost every orientation change.

Added option to only show disabled components.

1.1.9 (2009-10-05)

Warn the user more clearly about the dangers of uninstalling the app while components are still disabled.

Support orientation change.

Minor architecture improvements under the hood, preparing for bigger things to come.

1.1.4 (2009-09-22)

Support missing camera.NEW_PICTURE intent.

Improved logging when an error occurs during component state change, to allow investigating problems.
